Home defeat by the powerful Manchester United practically scuppers Dynamo chances to advance to the next stage.
Prompt and aggressive, the visiting team dominated the game and tried to make full use of their situations. The first one came on 10 minutes when Ferdinand headed the ball into the net after Giggs’s shot into the box.
Seven minutes on, another attack followed. Brown’s cross found Rooney, who scored the second goal for his team from close range. In both cases Dynamo defense obviously failed to provide timely intervention. Throughout the game, the defenders seemed to be helpless to cope with the problems the Englishmen carried on causing. Apart from the four picked points, the mancunians had another dozen of scoring chances.
There was a glimmer of hope when Diogo Rincón received the Corrêa corner kick and made the score to 1-2, only for it to be changed in no time. After superb left-flank activity, Giggs sent a cross to Ronaldu, who grasped the opportunity.
Two second-half substitutes were not a big help for Dynamo, with the game being finally settled after the penalty against Dynamo following Gavrančić’s blunder.
Small consolation came on 78 minutes, when Bangoura’s low shot reached the target. This, however, did not suffice on Tuesday night.
